Myself and my wife have now been to the Home Kitchen Cafe several times ( breakfast and lunch ) and have found each experience to be as differently wonderful as the first time we went! If your palette is as eclectic and adventurous as ours is, then the Home Kitchen Cafe is a wonderful choice! This is not a fast... More

Stopped at the Home Kitchen Cafe for breakfast based on the TripAdvisor reviews. The food was excellent, including the breakfast burrito and huevos rancheros. The only negative was the variable service - things started out well, but once the food was dropped off we did not see our server again until our meal was finished (we wanted drinks). It appeared...

Thank you for your review. We are so sorry to learn that our service did not meet your needs. Our servers are trained to work as a team. The majority of our staff has been with us over 1.5 years.

Just had a wonderful tuesday morning breakfast here. I got a breakfast burrito and my travel partner got the huevos rancheros. We always get something off-the-wall if given the choice between that and standard breakfast offerings. You can tell there is an atmosphere of caring here. Decor is charming without traversing into kitschy, ie: no traps and buoys hanging to... More

The food is high quality. There are lots of choices and always good! The sticky buns are especially good. The restaurant is ok inside, and you can eat outside, but you don't have much of a view. The food is what makes it worth the trip!

Don't miss either breakfast or lunch. The Rueben was outstanding, wonderful in-house corned beef, very tasty Russian dressing and the homemade rye was prefect. My friend had the burrito, nice soft flour tortilla, the filling smelled heavenly. We will be going again.

We tried the Home Kitchen based on the #1 rating from TripAdvisor. This is truly the best place in town for breakfast! The menu offers many great choices, service is quick and friendly, and the food is GOOD! The staff is friendly and helpful, and are truly concerned with making their customers happy! Don't miss it!
